Tulsa Shuts Out East Texas A&M 42-0
Six touchdowns, one shutout, and a 98-yard kickoff return that nobody on the other sideline will want to see again. Tulsa beat East Texas A&M 42-0 and moved to 3-0, while East Texas A&M fell to 0-1.
The Golden Hurricane scored first and kept scoring in an orderly way. Dexter Williams II hit Oran Singleton Jr. for 27 yards with 11:17 left in the first quarter, then found Donnell Gee Jr. from 24 yards in the second to make it 14-0. The third quarter opened with Trequan Jones taking a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown, and Damari Alston ran in from 19 yards later in the quarter. That was 28-0 entering the fourth. Jackson Shockley caught a 22-yard touchdown from Williams to start the fourth, and Seth Davis ran 51 yards with 1:49 left for the last score.
The numbers are what you would expect. Tulsa ran 42 times for 290 yards and threw for 164 more, for 454 total, with three sacks on defense. The one blemish was a fumble lost, which cost them nothing on the scoreboard. Williams did the damage with his arm, 14 of 26 for 164 yards and three scores, and the running backs took care of the rest.
For fantasy, Williams was the clear pick of the day at 25.5 points, even with that fumble. Davis had 90 yards on nine carries, one of them for the long score, and Alston added 68 yards and a touchdown. It was a good day to be a Tulsa skill player.
